old at a clip of 10,000 a day, old age is about to get better! The generation that launched the Civil Rights and Women’s Movements and protested the Vietnam War has a track record of creating positive social change. Entering into our Third Age, Boomers are once again challenging the status quo by reinventing how, where, and with whom we choose to spend the rest of our lives.

In this first-of-its-kind anthology, nationally recognized writer, speaker, and consultant on aging issues, Janice Blanchard,
has assembled a collection of thought-provoking essays by
visionary architects and planners, academics and social
scientists, social entrepreneurs and elder pioneers who are
helping forge an exciting new paradigm — “aging in
community.”

This 264-page book contains 23 essays and over 40 contributing authors, artists, and poets. Nine of the 23 essays included in the book appeared originally in the 2012|No. 2 issue of Itineraries, Second Journey's online publication.
